i think speaker boehner finds himself in a difficult and awkward position. i respect him but do not agree with him on everything, just about anything at this point. but i do respect him. i feel for him to some degree as well, because what is happening and that caucus i do not pretend to know but it is anything but unified. that presents problems when trying to pass legislation. even the farm bill. in new york, it is not the first thing we think about when we wake up in the morning. it should be. it should be called the food bill. that would have more residents -- resonance. the failure to act on something that was so taken for granted that this happens, i think it sends a shocking wave throughout washington and beyond that things really are not normal in any sense of the word. host: how did you vote on the original patriot act and what about reauthorization? guest: i voted in favor of the original patriot act in light of 9/11, my home town having been attacked. it was not just an attack against my hometown of new york city, it was an attack against our count

what does that say about boehner's leadership? >> i think it speaks to the whole -- it tells us a lot of stories about how washington works right now. first of all let's talk about the -- the leadership that exists at the moment. i'll say this delicately. the fact is you don't put a bill on the floor that you know you're going to lose. let me say it a different way. you don't put a bill on the floor that you don't know you're going to win. if you're the leadership of the u.s. house of representatives you should be whipping every single vote and know where every single voter is on everything from the smallest procedural motion to the largest bill like a farm bill. this has happened now four or five times in which republicans have had to either pull a bill from the floor because they didn't have enough votes or simply straight up lose a bill. that should not happen. it didn't happen under nancy pelosi. didn't happen under denny has stert. remember -- >> bill: pelosi had steny hoyer. he was a great whip. he knows every single vote. >
